Having read a few of the reviews posted on this forum, I don't really need to say anymore. I havent seen really any horror films recently, that genuineley creeped me out, the film 'Sinister' started out pretty strong, but the final half just failed.

As for the conjuring, if you've not seen it, i'll give you a sentence...

Family move into a new house in a remote countryside/wood location.

I bet if you guessed what happened, you wouldnt be far off what actually happens

Gene Hackman plays a loner private eye who feels increasingly guilty about the danger his work puts people in. What starts off as a tense spy thriller turns into a character study turns into a psychological horror film. Quite a mixture, but it pulls it off well. There's a bit of a sag in the middle, but apart from that it's impressive. Hackman is outstanding.

Brilliant film that never seems to age. Great characters and a superb cast. I just find the film rather charming.

Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner have a great chemistry together. Douglas didn't want to cast Turner initially as she though she was too 'hot' to play the character of Joan Wilder. She manages to do it with ease though. And she was smoking hot in the 80's.

The film had top class talent both in front of and behind the camera. They don't make as many film like these anymore. If they did, they'd probably fuck it up.

Rumor is they're trying to get a TV series off the ground. I hope it stays in development hell forever.

Terrible comedy with Paul Rudd and Jonah Hill as stoner dudes who rely on each other for everything. Danny McBride kidnaps Jonah Hill over an unpaid drug debt. Paul Rudd goes to get him back with non-hilarious consequences. Paul Rudd sometimes says things that imply he and Jonah Hill are a married couple. But they're not. They're straight men!

Man of Steel
It felt rushed. Not as in rushed out the door unfinished but as in they had to "skip to the end". Maybe that's me not knowing much about Superman but I would have liked this to be just about young Kent growing up and becoming tMoS. I really didn't need the "save the world" adventure at the end.

I definitely didn't need the yawn inducing final fight (I skipped it so maybe I shouldn't complain too much).

The way they told Supes formative years through flashbacks added to the feeling of "hurry up and break a city" that I disliked so much.

Had this been a braver film and focusing on just the origin story and then a smaller incident at the end I would have really liked it. As it is I found it enjoyable and I can now forgive Zack Znyder for making Sucker Punch.

Worth watching
I really don't like this new trend of wrecking entire cities. I wonder what the financial impact of that final fight would be? All the insurance claims etc? The cost of rebuilding an entire city center. And how many people died in the Smallville fight alone?

The Girl Who Played With Fire - 8/10. Finally got round to finishing the trilogy, great stuff. Better than the 2nd film, which like the book, just seemed to set up the finale so was a bit flat in comparison (ending aside). Solid 8/10 for all three.

Are they ever going to remake the last 2, or did the Craig one bomb at the box office?
